Abstract

A MOS transistor is formed in a first low-doped P-type retion coating a second more highly doped P-type region. The transistor comprises an N-type drain region, an N-type source region, and a region contacting the for region. The drain, cource and contacting regions are formed at the surface of the first region. The source and contacting regions are interconnected. An N-type highly doped region extends from the drain region through the first low-doped P-type region to the second more highly doped P-type region.
